They say pain fades with time, but not for me. And that's what I fear. For myself, for my son. Not eternal life, but eternal pain.
Embodied humans are one of the two principal subspecies of humanity, alongside Uploaded Intelligences. They have not undergone a Deep Scan procedure to upload, and thus are limited by concepts such as scarcity, death, waste, and decay.
Following the technological singularity, embodied humans were dubbed the Ancients by UIs, as the time dilation wielded by them placed the embodied hundreds, if not thousands of years behind in terms of history and social developments.[1]

This suggests that UIs can run over eighty-seven times faster than a human being. The twenty-year gap between "Apokalypsis" and "The World to Come" would have been over seventeen hundred years for a UI running at that speed.
